Hi fellas, I have my Dad's 1964 Mercury M100 Long Box truck sitting in my yard and I'm wanting to begin a restoration. Is there a modern chassis out there that would be near a bolt on application that would provide me with a more reliable drive train and more comfortable suspension? Thank you in advance! I appreciate your time.

 

Nothing is near bolt on. Start reading through old posts or do some searches to see what others have done to get some ideas, see what others have had to deal with, and then decide if you're up to the challange.

 

Hello Ernie, you'll also have to decide if you're going for a stock ride height or a lowered look. If lowered the way to go in my opinion is a Crown Vic conversion. There are a lot of Youtube channels showing how to do this. You can do a full frame swap or jut the suspension swap which is the way I'm doing it.

I happen to have a '64 F100 and that's the way I'm going. I feel lucky to have a '64 mainly because I can leave the front cross member in place for the conversion, other years it has to be removed.

If you care to take a look here's my channel. ~Pat
